[QUOTE="Sikh Namdhari, post: 52597, member: 2579"] I wonder if all the people who have been taught the theory of 'Shabad Guru' ever read the Gurbani in the context in which it was originally written? Can these people explain to me who the Sikhs, of ALL the Gurus before, and during Guru Gobind Singhji's time believed to be their Guru? To narrow this discussion down let's focus on Guru Arjun Devji. Who was 'Guru' during His time on Earth. Was it Guru Arjun Devji, or was it the 'eternal Shabad Guru'? If [U]only[/U] the Shabad is/was Guru, then what status did (Guru) Arjun Devji hold? Was even He, only a Baba? When He sang praises of His Guru I do believe He was praising Guru Ramdassji, or can someone show me a Shabad from Aadh Guru Granth Sahib that Guru Arjun Devji wrote, praising [I]His [/I]'Shabad Guru'. I have always been taught that a True Guru is a teacher who, being at one with the Cosmic Energy that is Akaal, then shares that Energy with His Sikhs. Hence why Guru Nanak Devji ends the Mool Manthr with the words: [B]Gur Parsad.[/B] To do that the entity that is Guru must be proactive. All of our True Gurus were proactive. A Guru is one who walks amongst mankind to deliver His message through the power of His 'Sabad'. ie. [I]spoken[/I] Word. Hence the term within Gurbani: [B]GUR [U]KA[/U] SABAD[/B]. Here we have two entities: The GURU and His SABAD. When He speaks, His Words have the power to change peoples' Karam. When Guru Nanak Devji spoke, great demon-like tyrants became His servants. GurSabad cannot exist without the Guru. For the Guru Granth Sahib to come into existance Human Gurus had to be around. They were there before Guru Nanak Devji. Kabirji's Guru was Ramanandji. Or was He just a 'Baba' as well? Dhana Jat's Guru was the Brahmin who threw Him a stone to worship, from whence Dhana had Darshan of God. Modern day understanding of the word 'Guru' has taken on a very different hue to the one originally used within the Aadh Guru Granth and Dasam Guru Granth Sahibs. If people want to believe in just 'Shabad' as Guru, then they have a right to do so. But they should desist from trying to distort the Gurbani to further their belief and vilify others who seek salvation in their own way. Every person has his/her own faith in something or someone. Who knows how far down the road to spiritual enlightenment each person is. In the old days people on the road to spirituality sought out Sadhs and Sants to serve. Only by seeking enlightened Souls and coming into their congregation can we start to learn. This is what Gurbani written down in the Aadh and Dasam Guru Granth Sahibs teaches us. To distort this teaching to mean anything else is a sin. Begging Forgiveness Sat-Sri- Akaal [/QUOTE]
